Unemployment is 10%, we’re at war, and every day sees a new 4-digit page health care bill. Sounds like the perfect time to worry about the playoff system, or lack thereof, for college football.
Dismissing complaints from some members that Congress had more pressing matters, a House subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday aimed at forcing college football to switch to a playoff system to determine its national champion.
“We can walk across the street and chew gum at the same time,” said the subcommittee chairman, Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush, one of the bill’s co-sponsors. “We can do a number of things at the same time.”
That’s precisely what we’re afraid of.
